Growing Tips
 Little Marvel Garden pea is a dwarf variety known for its excellent flavor and productivity. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers cool weather, making early spring or fall the best planting times. Plant in a location that receives full sun to partial shade, 6-12 hours of sunlight daily.
When to Grow
Plant Little Marvel peas in early spring, about 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost, or in late summer for a fall harvest. Suitable for USDA Zones 3-9, these peas can tolerate light frost. The ideal temperature for optimal growth is 45-80 F.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds directly into the garden 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart. Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting. Little Marvel peas typically grow up to 18-24 inches tall and do not require extensive support.
How to Grow
Ensure the plants receive 6-12 hours of sunlight daily. Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod development, but avoid waterlogging. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest the pods when young and tender for the best flavor and to encourage continuous production.
How to Save
Peas will self pollinate. However, to ensure purity, it is best to isolate by 25-50 feet between varieties to dissuade wandering bees from cross pollinating flowers if you plan to save the seeds. Allow the pods to dry on the plants, then thresh and dry the seeds indoors for two weeks before sealing them in an airtight container. Properly stored, pea seeds remain viable for up to five years.
